better yet- minimize your throw away materials).

Beer and wine available with proper ID, onsite vendors will be Terrapin (fri and sat), and

Campfires allowed in designated fire rings only (plenty among camping areas)

Primitive Camping - means you must be able to carry your stuff for a distance and not be
reliant on a vehicle. A shuttle will get you the quarter mile or so from the parking area to
the venue, but from there to your camp spot you are on your own. Some allowance for drive in
and drop off is made. But all vehicles must be moved from camping area to parking area after
gear is dropped off.
Port-a-johns and hand wash stations are the provided restroom service centers. Only two
showers available for use.

Kiddie Village is not a baby sitting service; it is a place for children to participate in
activities with their parent/s or guardian/s.
Archery and knife throwing - no prior alcohol consumption allowed for participants. (If you
have a favorite thrower, be sure and bring it along!)
Please – no obnoxious electronic/battery powered equipment that would take away from other’s
experience.
Be smart and behave responsibly so we can all have fun.
After hours acoustic jam- this is a time for non percussion music. Bring your guitars and
other stringed instruments and have some fun. Starts around 12:30 Am after last act Friday and
Saturday. This will take place around a large bon fire at Little Stonehenge, a semi-natural
amphitheater.
Good music.. Good food.. Good purpose.. Good people.. Good times…
Let’s have some fun!!

Press Release:
You can help Save the Hemlock Trees: Hemlockfest 2007 ANNOUNCEMENT
The Lumpkin Coalition (a non-profit 501c3 charitable organization) announced today the third
annual Hemlockfest in North Georgia. Hemlockfest 2007 will be held at Starbridge (just one
hour north of Atlanta near the historic town of Dahlonega) on November 2-3-4.
The survival of hemlock trees is being threatened by the woolly adelgid, an aphid like insect
introduced from Asia and now spreading through the north Georgia forests. This benefit will
raise funds and awareness to help save these magnificent trees that arguably define southern
Appalachia and keep our rivers cool enough to sustain such temperature-sensitive species as
trout and crayfish. 100% of donations/proceeds from the festival will go toward advancing the
hemlocks defense against the woolly adelgid. Our efforts the last two years contributed
significantly to the establishment of a beetle (which prey on the woolly adelgids) rearing lab
at the University of Georgia. We hope to expand our support this year to the Young Harris
College beetle rearing lab as well as the one now be established at North Georgia College and
State University.
FireDance as well as Music from such genres as singer songwriter, folk, blue/newgrass, blues,
classic oldies, Celtic rock, and jam band will be performed. Experts on the hemlock issue will
be speaking on the subject and available to answer questions. Many fun family and child
activities will take place, arts and craft vendors will be present and food, drink, t-shirts,
and other festival paraphernalia will be available for purchase.
Tickets for the three day two night (primitive camping option available) festival range in
price from free (for those ages 15 and under) to $15 for Friday, $20 for Saturday, $10 for
Sunday or $40 for the whole weekend (includes camping). Special student and senior (65+) rates
(with ID) are $5 off any chosen ticket.
Donations and/or ticket purchase (100% tax deductible) may be made in the forms of check or
money order and made out to -Lumpkin Coalition- and mailed to 3865 Dawsonville Hwy, Dahlonega
Ga. 30533, or by credit card through a pay-pal service at the following website:
www.lumpkincoalition.org
